Where are my fellow Stones fans?  You might want to stop by this weekend since I just got a number of collectible Stones items in stock.  I have autographed copies of the out-of-print Stones book, Love You Live, by Marilou Regan plus several framed collectible Stones concert posters.

We’re planning a HUGE Stones event for the first Friday of December so stop back or visit our Facebook page for more information as it becomes available.

Justin & JAY Z – Perfect Together

Last night, I finally saw the concert I’ve been looking forward to all summer, Justin Timberlake and JAY Z at Citizens Bank Park.  I saw Justin back in 2007 and JAY Z for the first time at Made in America last year and really enjoyed both of their shows but seeing them perform TOGETHER just took the concert to a new level.  They were both amazing!

I thought they’d each do their own set, kind of like the way Elton John and Billy Joel do their Piano Man tours, but I was pleasantly surprised when they began alternating performances before heading into their own individual sets.  I have to admit that I prefer my rap in small doses, so I think I enjoyed JAY Z even more because the songs went back and forth from rap to more R & B for a little bit. 

Both performers put on a such high energy show, it was difficult to sit down.  You just couldn’t help but dance all night.   I will definitely go see both of them again.  It was a show well worth the ticket price.

Did you go to the show?  How’d you like it?

Just In – Abbey Road on Red Vinyl

We just got back from a trip to England and Ireland and picked up a few gems and hard to find records from a record convention. There were soo many great titles it was difficult deciding which ones to buy. 

Here’s one straight from Dublin, Ireland;  a special ltd. Australian import of Abbey Road on red vinyl.

Stop by our grand opening on August 16th & 17th to see this and the other collectible records we have in stock.

What’s better than a music festival?  A tie-dye music festival!

If you’re looking for some family fun this Saturday, look no further than the Tie-Dye Music Festival at Community Arts Center, 414 Plush Mill Road, Wallingford, PA. The Tie-Dye Music Festival is an all ages, free admission, family event sponsored by Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union.

A celebration of the care-free days of summer and the creative and colorful process of tie-dying, attendees may purchase event t-shirts for $10 and tie-dye them themselves for no additional charge or people may bring up to 2 items of their own to tie-dye for a $5 charge.  CAC staff and expert tie-dye artist Bob Deane will be on hand to help participants with the tie-dye process and with achieving the desired design and color of their finished products.

Throughout the day, six local bands, each with their own unique sound, will entertain festival-goers.   Music includes the bluegrass sounds of  the Whirled Peas, improvisational folk rock from Beaufort, well crafted original music by New Jersey singer-songwriter Gordon Vincent, your favorite classic rock by Friday Revival, carefully selected acoustic covers by Herb Mondros and original music from Wilmington’s JB Cole, who is quickly gaining popularity as an emerging talent.

Puttin’ a Little Paint On

As promised, I wanted to let everyone know that the renovations at Vinyl revival are rolling along as planned.  The store space has been cleared out, the walls were spackled, and the painting is almost finished. 

The next job is the theater.  A fresh coat of paint will go in there too and the new projection system will be installed.  We’re making the space clean, bright and welcoming!

A fresh coat of paint brightens up Vinyl Revival.
